Keep Your Skin Glowing, All Fall and Winter Long
Fall and winter in Northern Nevada is an especially dry time of year for both our skin and nails…so what to do? You’re in luck- the experts at SOAK have just the tips and tricks for you. Here’s what we found that works:
Always Be Hydrated
You can slather on all the serums in the world, but if you’re running on three sips of water, your skin will definitely pay the price. Aim for hydration from the inside out: water, herbal teas, maybe even a humidifier if it’s worked for you before.
Take Care of Your Cuticles
When the temps drop and the air gets crisp, our cuticles tend to feel it first: dryness, peeling, that tight little sting. The good news? A few simple habits can keep them looking neat and nourished all season. Think of cuticle care as your nails’ cozy fall-and-winter wardrobe. Start by massaging in a rich cuticle oil or balm daily (yes, daily!) to seal in moisture and protect from the chilly air.
After washing your hands, follow with a nourishing hand cream to lock everything in. And if you’re someone who loves long, hot showers (no judgment) but try to keep them short, super-hot water can strip cuticles just like it does your skin. With a little consistency, your nails will stay smooth, soft, and winter-ready.
Don’t Skip SPF
Yes, even in winter. UV rays don’t take a holiday just because it’s cold outside. A daily SPF keeps your skin protected from dryness and signs of aging. Plus, you’ll be ready for any surprise blue-sky days.
Avoid Ski Feet with Poor Soles and Jelly Baths
Available for purchase at our SOAK Boutique, this product is truly a lifesaver for anyone hitting the slopes in the coldest part of winter. Poor Soles are portable and discreet sticks made with botanical-based ingredients that often include shea butter, avocado oil, and sweet almond oil. All of these are well-known for their softening and healing properties.
Another option is to get a jelly bath add-on to your next SOAK visit. Indulge in a warm, cushiony soak that turns water into luxurious jelly, locking in heat, softening skin, and soothing your senses. Choose from calming Lavender, detoxifying Green Tea, refreshing Citrus, and more! It’s biodegradable, mess-free, and 100% pampering. Book your jelly pedi at either of our SOAK locations today, and feel the difference!
